Junior point guard Antonio “Scoop” Jardine was reportedly “thrilled” when informed Thursday that the 30,000 fans at the Carrier Dome were, in fact, chanting “Scoop,” and not booing the young player.

The confusion has caused some distress for the Philadelphia native. “It was like the harder I played, the more everyone just booed me,” sighed Jardine. “I know these fans expect a lot, but seriously, what the fuck?!”

Since the discovery, Jardine has withdrawn from weekly therapy sessions and is looking forward to the remainder of the season with a positive attitude. “Oh I feel great! It’s like a huge weight has been lifted,” he said. “Now if someone will just make me one of those big-ass Scoop heads, we’ll win the championship for sure.”

Let’s hope so.

Scooooooooooooop!
